Orlyndo's arms tightened around my body, giving my shoulder tiny kisses, "Why are you so good to me? After all the bad things I've done to you, to hurt you... Why are you good to me?" He asked

"Because I love you" I tried to look into his eyes, "Look at me, baby"

I lightly pressed both of my hands on the sides of his face, lifting his head up. Our eyes connected, the color of his eyes turning light grey- he's depressed.

"I deserved this" He trembled, "After I left home when I finished high school, I took my anger out on others. Lashing out on innocent people became a habit. Demanding for things I wanted and needed became a hobby. Holding no type of emotion became a lifestyle. It was a routine that I was okay with.

I'm always blaming myself for being a damn fuck up because I know I did something to piss my parents off. To make them hurt me like how I hurt people mentally. I just... I don't know, I wish I wasn't this way" He cried on my chest, "I'm sorry"

Rubbing his back, I tried to calm him down. His sorrow quickly turned into frustration- his muscles became tensed. He was about to get up, but I straddled him.

"No no" I faced his head towards me, "It's okay, I understand. I'm here for you" I smiled

Orlyndo grinned wearily, "You're amazing you know that?"

I let out a tiny laugh and gave him a shrug as a response.

"Well you are" He held my left hand up, giving the back of it a soft peck, "And one day, you'll officially be mine" He kissed my ring finger

"Are you really going to make that happen, Mr. Braune?" I playfully challenged him with a laugh

He chuckled, reaching over to the nightstand for his wallet. He took out his credit card, "I'm taking you out to dinner tonight, so I want you to buy something"

"What about the dresses I have now?" I questioned

He pursed his lips together and then spoke, "Think of it as your first shopping day in Germany"

I went to take it, "Ooh, okay-" He snatched it out of my reach

"Use it wisely, please"

"And if I don't?"

"Instead of ties, I'll buy and use handcuffs" His jaw clenched, "I don't play about my money, Karma"

Walking the mall with Maryland, we talked about her upcoming job as personal assistant for Orlyndo's brother.

"He's actually pretty nice, unlike Orlyndo" Maryland snickered, drinking her iced coffee

I laughed, "That's good. When do you start the job?"

"I start Monday. I'm so excited to work for him. Ugh, that sexy son of a bee sting!" She exclaimed

I continued to sip on my lemonade because Orlyndo was a bit nice to me at first, until I actually started the job.

"Anywho, where are you guys going tonight?"

"He said that he's taking me out for dinner. I don't know where, yet it's probably a fancy place so I'll buy something decent enough"

Looking inside a random chic store, I made my way to the plus size section. My eyes landed on this gorgeous dazzling silver dress. I picked it up off the rack to examine it by the material and texture.
